Can one work during first trimester of pregnancy?

Question

I'm in my first trimester and still working, but I'm feeling very tired and nauseous some days. Is it common and safe to work during the first trimester of pregnancy? I want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.

You can work, but the morning sickness can make it tough. Keep some dry crackers on your desk and take small breaks when you feel nauseous.

Trisha Natarajan · Answer

Beta, you can work but don't lift heavy things or run around. Keep some ginger candies for nausea and take proper rest at home.

Yes, you can work, though by the time you reach the 3rd trimester like me, you'll just want to work from your bed!

Of course you can work! Most of us in metro cities travel and work full-time during pregnancy, just stay hydrated and don't take too much stress.

Yaar, you can actually work easily in the first trimester. Just make sure you are not traveling in super crowded trains, take care.

Working actually kept me active, which really helped during my normal delivery later. Just listen to your body and don't overexert.
